All Black Books

Guide to find all the black books with additional information about them, thus to get the achievement "Hidden Knowledge"

Introduction

Black Books

Are esoteric tomes that are magical and otherworldly in nature. When read, they present the reader with exceptionally powerful knowledge that comes with incredible powers which mortals could never conceive. They are Daedric artifacts created by Hermaeus Mora to lure mortals into his service. Some appear to have been written in the ancient past, while others appear to be from the far future. They are much sought after as they contain hidden knowledge that grants the reader great power.

GADG37G1RL , you might not want to use cheats but this is the simple answer, press ¬ and the cheat window should come up (unless you have adifferent type of keyboard in which case whatever is under esc) then click the door and you should see it's code on screen, then simply type unlock, press enter and the door should be unlocked allowing you to go through though at first it may not display the door as unlocked
